Episode 55—Trouser Class with Kenneth D. King

Episode 55—Trouser Class with Kenneth D. King

I recently had the opportunity to take a trouser drafting class with Kenneth D. King at the Sewing and Design School in Tacoma, WA. Kenneth is professor at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York. Kenneth won the Association of Sewing and Design Professional's 2013 Lifetime Achievement Award. He is known for his articles in Threads Magazine, his books, CD books, TV show (Sewing Today), and "Jean-ius," an online class on Craftsy. Ryliss Bod, owner of the Sewing and Design School, brings Kenneth to Tacoma several times a year to teach in-depth classes to small groups of students. I also went a day early to take a coat class with Ryliss. Hear about both classes and what I learned in this episode!
